Weight of common equity = 0.7061 or 70.61%

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure of a company can consist of one or more of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common stock.

To calculate the WACC, we use the market value of each component.

Market value of common equity = 51 * 5.7 = 290.7 million

The weights to assigned to each components are,

Total weight of all components = 101 + 20 + 290.7 = 411.7 million

Weight of debt = 101 / 411.7  => 0.2453 or 24.53%

Weight of preferred stock = 20 / 411.7  => 0.0486 or 4.86%

Weight of common equity = 290.7 / 411.7  => 0.7061 or 70.61%
